# Rugby: The International Rugby Players’ Association says they weren’t consulted before World Rugby revamped the World Sevens Series. The governing body announced the news just before the season-ending tournament in Los Angeles in the US, which South Africa won. It entails the series only consisting of eight elite teams playing in six tournaments before four teams from a newly-formed Division Two can join them in three World Championship Series events. Players feel this will only benefit the richer nations and fail to grow developing nations.
